• Abstract: Optical coherence tomography (OCT) and scanning laser ophthalmoscopy (SLO) of the eye has become essential to ophthalmology and the emerging field of oculomics, thus requiring a need for transparent, reproducible, and rapid analysis of this data for clinical research and the wider research community. Here, we introduce OCTolyzer, the first open-source toolkit for retinochoroidal analysis in OCT/SLO data. It features two analysis suites for OCT and SLO data, facilitating deep learning-based anatomical segmentation and feature extraction of the cross-sectional retinal and choroidal layers and en face retinal vessels. We describe OCTolyzer and evaluate the reproducibility of its OCT choroid analysis. At the population level, metrics for choroid region thickness were highly reproducible, with a mean absolute error (MAE)/Pearson correlation for macular volume choroid thickness (CT) of 6.7$\mu$m/0.99, macular B-scan CT of 11.6$\mu$m/0.99, and peripapillary CT of 5.0$\mu$m/0.99. Macular choroid vascular index (CVI) also showed strong reproducibility, with MAE/Pearson for volume CVI yielding 0.0271/0.97 and B-scan CVI 0.0130/0.91. At the eye level, measurement noise for regional and vessel metrics was below 5% and 20% of the population's variability, respectively. Outliers were caused by poor-quality B-scans with thick choroids and invisible choroid-sclera boundary. Processing times on a laptop CPU were under three seconds for macular/peripapillary B-scans and 85 seconds for volume scans. OCTolyzer can convert OCT/SLO data into reproducible and clinically meaningful retinochoroidal features and will improve the standardisation of ocular measurements in OCT/SLO image analysis, requiring no specialised training or proprietary software to be used.

  Coronary CT angiography (CCTA) is widely used for artery imaging and determining the stenosis degree. It can be settled by invasive optical coherence tomography ( OCT) without much trouble for physicians, but bringing higher costs and potential risks to patients. We propose a method to handle the O2CTA problem. CCTA scans are first reconstructed into multi-planar reformatted (MPR) images, which agree with OCT images in term of semantic contents. The artery segment in OCT, which is manually labelled, is then spatially aligned with the entire artery in MPR images via the proposed alignment strategy.
